The Orchard Retreat & Spa

My recent stay at Orchard was simply amazing. The rooms were incredibly comfy, surrounded by breathtaking beauty. They offer all the amenities you could ask for a perfect vacation, including a game room, library, and a refreshing pool and spa. And don't miss their unforgettable 'Kahwa' welcome drink – I'm hooked!But what truly made Orchard special was its exceptional staff. Rahil, the intern, made sure to ask me how my day was and if I needed anything, everyday. He even taught me napkin folding (only because I asked, lol). It was fun. Rafiq, the kitchen manager, ensured my meals were fresh, hot and customized if I wanted.The head chef's Kashmiri Pulav was pure delight.A heartfelt shoutout to Khalid, the reception manager, who made my stay both comfy, fun and safe. He took me on a city tour on his day off, revealing local food gems and authentic Kashmiri shopping spots. Since I was travelling alone, he made sure I feel at home and asked me to give him a call if I am out and need help.I don't usually write such detailed reviews, but the beauty of Kashmir and the warmth of its people left me truly grateful. Orchard is now my top choice for future visits, and I enthusiastically recommend it to people reading this.

My family of 3 from Bangalore stayed here on 6th December 2021. Choose this because we wanted to stay in a cottage close to the mountain. It was a bit far from the city with a relatively bad road but manageable easily and it is not a big deal at all. We had a nice welcome with a hot kahwa. It was a chilling winter but the cottage was perfectly equipped to handle any weather. From inside it has the complete luxury of a 5+ star facility surrounded by a beautiful garden, swimming pool, mountains, etc. Lighting on the trees during the night was mesmerizing. Sitting on the balcony in that chilling weather will remain in our minds for a long time. We enjoyed the food too. The staff was so helpful that they advanced the breakfast time by 30mins to honor our request. We did some memorable photo shooting during the night and early morning. We had forgotten to pick our camera in the lounge En route to Pahalgam but the honest hotel staff called us within 10mins we left the facility. If you are visiting Srinagar, Orchard Retreat should be at the top of your list for a unique experience. I thank the whole staff from the bottom of my heart for creating such a wonderful stay

The Orchard retreat and spa made our first visit to Kashmir from Kanyakumari a memorable moment. The cottages gave us the feeling as if we were in our own acquired home in Kashmir. We thank all the managers Mr. Anupam, Mr. Ishtam and the lady manger for their support, hospitality and kindness. We thank Mr. Danish Margay, a very friendly staff and his friends in the restaurant. Thanks to the chef who visited our table. We also thank our chauffeur, Mr. Shahid who made our trip pleasant. The Orchard gives a very comfortable and safe atmosphere for families. This would not be possible without their staff because they are the ones who keep its charm. We miss you Orchard and Kashmir.

The experience at Orchard was amazing . I stayed there with my family and all of us were amazed at the quality of service and hygiene. Too good. I would recommend Orchard to anyone who wants to stay in Srinagar.Also i had asked for. driver for day trips to Orchard and they recommended a guy We hired him for 3 days and he was the most warm , welcoming and courteous driver i have met till date. Our experience in Kashmir was bettered due to him. Highly recommend him for any travel within and outside Srinagar .
